Q - What technologies facilitated the regime change we witnessed in Egypt today? List 3. Describe how each technology came about and how each were used in support of the protest.

In Egypt, there were a lot of things that were going on that I didn't really know about. The things that I know a little knowledge of were how social networking was able to help out the revolution in Egypt. Three things that helped the cause in Egypt include:
1. Facebook
2. Twitter
3. Internet


Q - List each of the items displayed in the image. Make your best guess about how they could be repurposed to support peaceful demonstration in the face of an authoritarian regime.
The items in the image that are being displayed include:

-Spray Can- I think it was used to spray walls and show how they felt and express themaelves
